12 Questions with Tiffany Page
1. Who are your musical influences?
Definitely bands that I grew up listening to such as REM, Neil Young and Carol King etc but that’s because my mum listens to those bands but I love Nirvana, Hole, L7 and Babes In Toyland.. My music doesn’t sound alike but these bands get me writing.
2. How do you describe your music to people?
Well I’d say ’Rock Pop’ people have been saying I’m a bit pretenders-ie’, also the other day Fearne Cotton said my new single ’on your head’ was a bit’chili peppers’ which I thought was cool….
3. What image do you think your music conveys?
I guess its about being a young woman and dealing with love and life but it’s mainly about boys heart ache and stuff…
4. What led you to make your first album and how did your ‘sound’ take hold?
Well I got my first guitar when I was 14 around the same time that I discovered nirvana and gruge/ rock music and I think I’ve always known I wanted to make a rock/pop album as its who I am, its what I’ve grown up listening to and felt most inspired by. Luckily my voice droped and got pretty husky around the same time so it suits the music. I love great lyrics and melodies and I worked really hard on my album I guess it was about making an album that I loved and felt proud of and hopefully everyone else will love it too.
5. What are your songs about?
I write about things that happen to me or the way I that I feel at a certain time. I wrote most of these songs to vent about things I was going through.
6. What’s the story behind your current album?
I spent about a year writing it so I guess you could say its a year in the life of tiffany page.
7. Who would you like to collaborate with in the future?
Ooo… Hard one. Brody Dalle- Distillers/ Spinnerette. Queens of the stone age would be amazing too.
8. What is the most gratifying feedback that you get from listeners of your music?
For me its all about playing live so I guess feedback from gigs from people saying they’ve enjoyed it means the most!
9. When are you touring the States?
I can’t wait to tour the states but I’m having loads of fun exploring the uk stages at the moment. I think the plans to tour the states are a bit further down the line maybe the end of the year or next year.
10. Would you like to experiment with different musical genres in the future?
To try a more alt angle, yeah.
11. Typically what is the recording process like?
How many tracks do you record? Really fun, being in the studio and not coming out for days at a time playing and writing music’s the best thing!
I think 12 on the album but I wrote loads of songs when writing the album maybe 60?
12. Any crazy stories from the road?
Yeah, Shingey of the Noisettes broke her managers arm whilst bending over backwards off a high balcony.. Hilarious! Poor Peter hahaha…
